About our wedding paella catering in Easthampstead

A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. We’re often asked to cater vow renewals and civil ceremonies and big weddings with every diet, serving canapé tapas, table tapas and Spanish desserts.

For a smaller place like Easthampstead, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We will need a level spot and a way to reach it. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

What’s in the pans

Canapé tapas

One- and two-bite tapas on boards, ideal for the drinks reception.

Evening paella

Fresh pans for evening guests, quick to serve and filling.

For event organisers in Easthampstead

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Space, weather and the venue

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Diets, allergies and planning

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Connect us with your coordinator
  • Include any suppliers you are feeding
  • Ask about your date as soon as you have one
  • Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers

Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, normally timed after the first dance.

Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Easthampstead

How far is Easthampstead from London?

Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

We’re having a ceremony at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

What if the timings change?

We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator so the paella is served fresh.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Do you provide drinks?

We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

How do you work out quantities?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

Can you cook in the rain?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

How long do you need on site?

We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Who books wedding paella catering in Easthampstead?

It’s a natural fit for barns, marquees and gardens, where plated meals are harder.

Almost any gathering can work with live paella. In Easthampstead, people book us for events such as:

  • Parties after a register office wedding
  • Big weddings with every diet
  • Marquee and garden weddings
  • Evening wedding food

Couples marrying at local churches such as St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church frequently hold the reception nearby: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so the meal is ready when you arrive.

What your quote should include

  • How each diet is kept separate
  • Space, access and power needs
  • How bad weather is handled
  • Whether crockery, cutlery and napkins are included
